But forums like these really help encourage and motivate each other! x

It is so good to hear from you :) Your question is a great one, and since you are the second person in this comments section to ask me about this I think it deserves it’s own post! So keep an eye out for an upcoming blog post on the topic! Thank you for the inspiration!

This is a great question, and you are the second person in this comments section to ask me about this! I think it deserves it’s own post, though, so keep an eye out for an upcoming blog post on the topic! Thank you for the inspiration!

Your comment was so sweet, thank you for all your kind words – they really made my day! Thank you!

That feeling of “not good enough”? Totally normal and something that everyone feels, my friend! We’ve got to stop listening to that little voice of fear and resistance! Hey, a great book for you to read (if you haven’t already) would be “The War of Art”! It is so inspiring for artists of all kinds, and really tackles this issue of feeling “not good enough” etc..

And the feeling of “it’s taking up too much time”? My sister told me a great quote yesterday that applies well here: “there is a huge difference between an excuse and an emergency”. For some reason that quote has really inspired me to put all my excuses aside and remember that if I really want to do something ( like blogging ) it’s up to me to make it happen! :) Hopefully it inspires you, too!

Glad to hear that you always go back and undelete the blog, you’re right – putting together a post feels so good and therapeutic almost, doesn’t it? LOVE IT!

Rock on, Becca! You’ve got this. Can’t wait to check out your blog!
BIG HUGS
xoxo

I LOVE going through old posts, it reminds me of all the feelings I had, where I’ve been, and why I do what I do. So rewarding. Keep blogging, girl! xoxo

Thanks so much for your comment! The best thing about a blog is that your posts never disappear (unless you delete them, of course haha!). Great posts live on and on (like this one, which I wrote ages ago!). I think everyone would love thousands of followers, it’s a beautiful ego boost .. but I think the most rewarding thing is exactly what you: said getting a really interesting conversation going, being able to inspire someone with your words or photos, and of course getting the chance to meet inspirational people through a shared passion. I have met so many beautiful people thanks to my blog and web presence. Blogging is something I have never regretted, and something I hope I never stop doing. Fingers crossed ;)

BIG HUGS!
XOXO

Your blog is an inspiration. I have a blog (http://www.millycolley.com/blog) but I don’t think I’m getting the full benefits as I’m only posting sporadically. It’s difficult to keep putting things up on it when it feels like no one reads it. Did you find this at first with your blog? How would you suggest getting more readers?

I’ve just recently started getting into blogging for my business. It’s kind of discouraging sometimes, though, because I feel like it’s not reaching anyone. Do you have any suggestions on how to spread the word about your blog, and maybe connect with other bloggers? Particularly other photographers, or people involved in creative industries?
